CLEffiM'S
REAL MISSION
TO Ul
By Carl 8 wits
Washington, Dec. lS.-KWAKHINO-TOX
BUREAU OK THE JOURNAL).
Georges Clemenceau mad his final
rnnming up for the cm of France tn
Washington. H Mid iitu that he
. bad not said bef or In ether addresses,
but taking his final appeals In re-
- view, it nay b useful to indicate what
;:- it was all about. - sr
. Hearing Clemenceau in on extended
address and in on interview where he
submitted himself to cross - examina
tion, the writer sought an answer to
the question as te Just what the dis-
tinguished visitor ; wanted and what
he hoped to accomplish by his trip.
Repeatedly he ' aid that - he asked
'nothing,, neither money nor soldiers,
only good will for Franc. Yet the
reflection of public opinion and the
reaction of his audleneee left the feel
ing that he would be highly pleased
if he could "8tir" the Americans Into
doing something a something that
many of his hearers found it difficult
to define.
yrovtt defejtb i-aaxce
Another statement he frequently
made, that he came to show the situ
ation of France, - so that the people
' here may not think his : country Is
militaristic or imperialistic may be
safely set down as the main theme and
his main objective. He believed that
this country could be made to ap
praise the position of France differ
ently. Beyond that he wanted to de
fend France from the charge that It is
mercenary and too harsh with Ger
many. --
-Perhaps the most definite thing he
said in Washington or anywhere
touched upon the execution of the
treaty of Versailles. It is corn prised
in this quotation from his main ad
dress herei -v .
"I simply say . that If ; the moral as
surance is given that America does hot
disinterest herself from the execution
of the treaty, that is enough. Then
the Germans will keep quiet. And the
Turks I cannot suffer the Turks. I
do not think anyone can. But they,
too; would keep quiet"
ISTTEBVSTIOl SUGGESTED
Again, speaking of "the treaty that
has not been executed," he said, "Let
us make arrangements.'? And to make
clear what countries he had in mind,
he added : t
-"And what is better able to make
those s arrangements than the inter
vention jrf; America with England And
Fraaoef P --x - - ' - 4
There Is nothing lo Indicate that
Clemenceau meant an arrangement -of
force. He seemingly has in mind a
concert of pinion economic aid as it
Can- be' given, and fair notice to Ger
many that evasions of obligation are
disapproved. .
- Hie complaint as to America is that
the conditions of the 14 points of
President Wilson "may be the great
est event of the war," were not ful
filled, that Europe- received a vision
of "Europe remade with the idea of
right and. justice that bad never been
undertaken before." and that America
quit with, the Job jjnfialshed, the ideals
left to -wither.
- Having done that, "he argues, the
United State should net complain if
-ranee stands guard to protect herself.
The security promised by the treaty
having fallen, and .France believing
there 4a real danger, his country must
: maintain security by its own arm.
As te titie reality of the danger, he
pointed to an official statement of the
allied command, giving dates, places
and quantities of 45 seizures of arms
: Ana inuniuons secretea in venous parts
of' Germany items in many instances
Including dosens of light field pieces,
thousands of machine guns and hun
dres of thousands of -cartridges, with
revolvers, bombs, flame throwers and
other articles fo war. This, he insist
ed, is proof enough, that Germany can
not be left without supervision and
that France cannot be secured without
" Of two things an army on the
' Rhine . or a guarantee from Great
Britain or the United States, or from
both.
' He spoke so many times of the
guarantee, of the anxiety of France to
disarm if she dared, of the guarantee
suggested by Lloyd George and Wil
son, but never received, that this may
be regarded as one of the things upon
which , he was - anxious to consult
American opinion. He did not put this
forward as a request from France,
hut he clearly -wanted to test Ameri
w opinion toward it.
"- demeneeaa was never a strong be
liever in the League of Nations. He
avoided it in Paris until the special
guarantee to France was suggested to
ran along with it, and he touched
gingerly upon the League in this
country, ' '
r LACXS 'fcrABAITTEES ';
Am now. constituted, he does not be
iieve it wili prevent wax, manifestly,
in his opinion, because it lacks the
guarantees to make It strong. But he
is not. hostile to the League. He es
pecially commended the League for
what it has done for Austria and
Silesia. .t- '?.-' ": ;- .
He resented strongly the criticism
that France seems to overburden Germany.-
The basis of German taxation,
he asserted, is IS xur -..-.
, m wuu UiC
French tax themselves 45 per cent.
n reierrea to the receipt of 1,000.
000,000 gold marks from Germany on
'reparations account in three years,
sarcastically observing that "this is
how we have bankrupted Germany."
In the meantime the French have
rained 100.000,000.000 francs, he said, to
help repair devastated France. Ger-
; many -; nas aeuDerateiy inflated her
'money, he charged, to break down re
parations, at the same time accumu-
div wmuxb in zoreign banks.
In fine, Clemenceau hopes to acquit
Franc of the charge of militarism and
injustice toward the vanouiahA wt.it.
he assumes as a matter of course that
America wiu not ast France to pay
her debt to this country until the

Christmas shopping -Friday night.
He walked from the White House
to the shopping district and although
he stopped several times on hi way
down town and back, to do some "win
dow shopping," too, notmore than
a dosen people recognised him on the
whole trip. '
He bought about a dozen books to be
sent to intimate friends for Christ
mas. On the way down town, the presi
dent dropped in at the National Press
club, and cast his ballot for the of
ficers who were elected Friday night.
He stopped there long enough to stand
for a flashlight and a brief talk with
some of the older- correspondents.
TO get a few more whiffs of fresh
air, the president walked two blocks
out of his way, and dodged traffic Just
like any other pedestrian.
As he walked down F street, two
flappers spied him. One said:
"Oh, that's the president."
"You're balmy, my dear," said the
other. "That man simply looks like
him."

GOVERNOR ALLEN
White Sulphur Springs. W. Vs, Dee.
1. (L N. S.BranlJng the Kb Klux
Klan as "organ tied ' outlawry," Gov
ernor Henry J, Allen of Kansas, in an
address before the conference of gov
ernors here today, denounced it as the
greatest ure that cab come to any
civilised popl and urged that steps
be taken to. eradicate it from America.
"The organisation is as dangerous to
the Protestant as it is to the Catholic
and the negro because it exists only
when the authority of government has
been broken down and destroyed," he
declared, "It brings hatred, chaos ani
menace to every law-abiding citizen
who may fall victim of the private
quarrels and animosities of the men
who hide their identity behind mask.
"The organisation would be absurd
of course, if it were not for the un
doubted hold which it has secured in
many communities and where it op
erates, according to the character of
its membership in that locality. In
many places the appeal to creed has
brought into the organisation some ex
cellent men. who believe that they are
addressing themselves to the real
problem when they draw lines of re
ligious prejudice. ,
GKOWI BAPIDX.Y
"It grows very rapidly when it
strikes & community and requires
about a year of experience to convince
its best members that the organisation
has no place of .usefulness in the United
States. f- -
"la the South and. In the Far West
they have committed many actual
crimes upon Individuals and only re
cently they I have invaded Kansas.
There they have given us the shooking
exhibition at Liberty, a small town in
the central portion of the state, of tak
ing the mayor of the town by violence
because he refused to allow this masked
society to hold a meeting in a hall
which he owned in this community.
"In other parts of the state this klan
was used during the rail strike. The
strikers in communities where colored
men were employed put on the garb
of this organisation for the purpose of
frightening those who were employed
in the essential industry of transporta
tion, away from their work. They have
introduced in Kansas the greatest
curse that can come to any civilised
people that which arises out of the
unrestrained passions of men. gov
erned either by their religious Intoler
ance or by their racial hatreds.
"In Kansas we are seeking to expel
It from the state. Under the laws of
Kansas, every organisation doing busi
ness within the state must be char
tered. The Ku Klux Klan has a char
ter under the laws of Georgia, hut its
charter has not been approved under
the Kansas laws and the action now
pending in the supreme court of the
state is for the purpose of securing a
writ forbidding the klan to do busi
ness hereafter in Kansas. As soon as
this writ is issued, then the biasing
cross and the pasture parties, where
men mask themselves and put on a fan
tastic ceremony in tne .ipeit field and
terrorise an entire neighborhood, will
disappear.

"The next organization might be "The

no right to presume that he has a mo
nopoly upon those individuals who Will

ment of their own.
"No more grotesque Abuse of the

(By t nited Hew a .
Marion. El.. Dec. 16. A gruesome
picture ; of the scenes following t the
Herrln, toassacre last June was . drawn
Friday at the trial of the five-union
miners charged with murdering' How
ard Hoffman, non-union miner, - by
Donald M. Kwing. a' Chicago newspa
per man, who "covered". the story Of,
the massacre.
While Hoffman lay mutilated and
dying with five of his comrades and
pleaded for water, Bert Grace, one of
the defendants, stood over hlra with
a shotgun and cursed him, refusing
to allow Swing to comply with the
dying man's request, the reporter tes
tified. - s
Swing's testimony dealt with what
he saw in and about 'Herrin on June
12, when 19 non-union miners were
killed. -
Besides Identifying Grace as one of
the Narmed guards who Stood over tbe
prostrate Hoffman, Swing described
the numerous knife and -bullet wounds
from which Hoffman died,
"Coming to Williamson county as a
reporter, X hired an automobile and
was driven to the scene of the disor
ders, Kwing testified. tn front ef
the Herrin cemetery I found six men
lying in the road. They were tied to
gether with a heavy rope and several
hundred people were congregated
about them.
":-t discovered three of the men were
apparently dead. One man, whom I
later learned was Howard Hoffman,
was pleading for water. I ran to a
farm house and brought a small bucket
3f water, but as I advanced to give the
water to the dying man, this man
Grace .stopped me at the point, of a
shotgun and told me not to-go, near
the men." .
"You get no water here, damn you,
the witness quoted Grace as Baying to
Hoffman, , ,
He positively identified Grace, who
sat In the courtroom with the other
defendants, and was asked to stand
up for inspection,
"I looked at him carefully when he
had that gun pointed at me, and I'm
sure there is no, mistake," Ewlng told
the court.
This testimony was attacked repeat
edly by defense attorneys who fought
desperately to threw doubt on Its re
liability.
Court was adjourned until Monday
after the defense had oross-examlned
jawing and failed to shake bis story.

Bandits Were Busy
Oh Friday Night;

Portland's holdup men seemed to
pick out Friday evening for their
week-end depredations. The riot of
crime was topped' off at 10 o'clock

$200. ' '
Carruthers was alone in his store at
the time the "bandits caUed. They both
displayed revolvers and while one ban
dit covered the grocer, the other thief
walked behind the counter, opened the
cash register, took out the $200 in
currency, passed by the small change,
and vanished with his partner.'' The
pair each appeared to be about 40
years old.
